  • Double Signature

    Open AccessMairéad HanrahanARTICLEParagraph2016References: 3

    This article discusses Glas in the light of Derrida's notion of the countersignature as both affirmation and betrayal of the countersigned. It explores how the two columns of Glas confirm as well as oppose each other, notably in relation to sexual difference, and examines how Derrida in turn is both faithful and unfaithful towards Hegel and Genet. Tracing the complexity of Derrida's signature, it reflects on its broader implications for his decon…

  • Le cru et les cuisses: Écrire à l’adresse de l’Amérique

    Mairéad HanrahanARTICLEÉtudes françaises2015

    Cet article a pour objet d’étude les deux textes que Genet a écrits lors de la Convention nationale démocrate de 1968, « Les membres de l’Assemblée » et « Un salut aux cent mille étoiles ». Il est axé sur la question de l’adresse : non seulement Genet s’adresse-t-il dans ces textes explicitement, au vocatif, aux Américains, mais c’est l’occasion insolite de pouvoir s’adresser directement à eux qui l’a convaincu d’aller aux États-Unis. Quelque dir…

  • Une écriture retorse: La réponse de Genet à ses juges

    Mairéad HanrahanARTICLEFrench Studies2014

    Dans ses textes, Jean Genet s'adresse violemment à son ennemi, en particulier à ses juges. Cet article explore comment l'écriture lui permet d'échapper à un rapport spéculaire à ses juges. Cette approche conteste des lectures récentes selon lesquelles les fantasmes de l'écrivain l'auraient fait s'identifier aux nazis, en raison d'une angoisse à l'égard de la castration. Je propose au contraire que Genet s'intéresse plus à tordre qu'à inverser (et…

  • Introduction: Francophone Communities Past and Present

    Open AccessCharles Forsdick, Mairéad Hanrahan et al.ARTICLEParagraph2014References: 3

    ‘Francophone Postcolonial Theory’, the Special Issue of Paragraph edited in 2001 by Celia Britton and Michael Syrotinski, played a determining role in shaping the research field it sought to map. Much has changed in the decade since then, both in Francophone postcolonial criticism and in the specific context of Caribbean literature and thought. From at least the late 1980s, the greater part of Francophone Caribbean criticism tended to deal primar…

  • Espèces de travestissements et travestissement de l’espèce dans l’écriture de Genet

    Mairéad HanrahanARTICLEModern Language Notes2013

    Espèces de travestissements et travestissement de l’espèce dans l’écriture de Genet Mairéad Hanrahan (bio) Les travestissements abondent dans l’œuvre de Genet. Ils représentent un cas privilégié de son goût pour l’imposture ; c’est au début de la scène du bal travesti de Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs qu’a lieu la fameuse déclaration du narrateur : « J’aime l’imposture1 ». En raison même de sa nature postiche, le travestissement offre une voie d’explorati…

  • Writing Symptomatically

    Open AccessMairéad HanrahanARTICLEParagraph2013References: 1

    Hélène Cixous and Jacques Derrida position themselves very differently in relation to literature. This article analyses that difference in the light of their relation to the symptom, the fundamentally unanalysable form through which the unconscious manifests itself. While Derrida dwells more on the impossibility of ever accessing the original secret wound to whose existence the symptom opaquely attests, Cixous tends to focus more on the effect, t…

  • Cixous, Derrida, Psychoanalysis

    Open AccessMark Dawson, Mairéad Hanrahan et al.ARTICLEParagraph2013

    Helene Cixous and Jacques Derrida are two of the most innovative and unsettling thinkers to emerge from the traumas and transformations of the first half of the twentieth century. Despite the great, and manifest, differences between their respective bodies of work (hers that of a ‘poet’; his that of a ‘philosopher’), these bodies speak to each other, recall and echo each other, in ways that cannot be accounted for by shared biographical traits (t…

  • Countersigning Painting: Hélène Cixous's Art of Writing about Painting

    Mairéad HanrahanARTICLEThe European Legacy2009

    Hélène Cixous has written a substantial body of writings about art. This article borrows Derrida's conception of the countersignature to explore the relationship she envisages in them between the plastic arts and writing. It argues that the works to which Cixous is drawn, many of which involve copying words, are driven by the desire to capture what is essentially uncapturable in the artist's idiom. Recognizing in them a displacement of her own co…
